PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat’s arrest by Punjab Police under section 3 MPO sparks public outrage across social media. He was leaving the Lahore High Court (LHC) after attending a lawyer’s convention when Punjab Police arrested him.

According to reports, Punjab police have transported Sher to the Mozang Police station. Sher accused K-P police of attempting abduction last week while en route to Gluabad near Chakdara for a party convention in Bajaur.

Sher stated that the police made a determined effort to abduct him as he approached Gulabad with 300 heavily armed cops involved. This arrest came after a First Information Report (F.I.R) was filed on Dec 3, 2023, against Sher and PTI workers for organizing a worker’s convention in Swabi. However, the KP police released him after an uproar from the PTI workers and supporters.
